Cymru Chroeso. welcome from Wales. this is the nut house hope you find it helpful, any questions just ask some mad hatter will come along and answer.

Welcome and enjoy your car.

Welcome to the Forum, looking forward to the photos.

sorry about the delay been busy at work...... here is a quick pic i took last night not good lighting i know but I'll get some more tomorrow, its got its MOT next week a couple of things i wanted to ask was;

1. drivers seat doesn't have runners its just bolted at the front so you can tilt it forward? is this a fail?

also anything else i should check before it goes in...i'm really worried and just want it out of the way so i can hit the road

Cheers

no it is not a fail, that is how you get in and out of the back of a 2 door, your passanger seat should be the same

It's not supposed to be a fail - but my local MOT place will only pass it if the tipping motion is very very stiff. So I have some black duct tape trapped between the bar and clamp which makes it suitably firm. Good luck with that MOT - but a general rule is - never buy a car that doesn't have at least 9 months MOT on it!

But his car is a 4 door, so is that still correct?

yep a 4 doors front seats are the same. never caused a problem before

Welcome, nice looking car. I presume you have checked things like the light pattern and tyre tread, horn lights etc etc.... ALso have you joined the young members fb group? If not do so http://www.facebook.com/groups/MMOCYM/
